MBP Update - Inertial Scrolling

[Munson]

Awesome. Now there's even less reason to use the horrid Magic Mouse. Not that I have one, but I have used one and hated it.

The MBP is now perfect

 

[SC03OTT]

I was going to get a Magic Mouse. Should I not bother?

 

[Munson]

IMO not if you have an MBP. The trackpad is now EVEN better.

 

[Bloooor]

Sell me your Mouse for next to nothing for lack of reply in PM?

Thanks

 

[Munson]

WTF I replied to all of your PMs. Plus I don't have a mouse. I don't need one

 

[SC03OTT]

I've just watched all the wee videos about what the trackpad can do. I've decided I don't need the mouse. I was using a windows mouse as a temp as well. That's been ditched.

 

[Munson]

That's a huge fail. The MBP pad is simply mind blowingly good. Just the feel of it is epic. Etched glass FTW.

 

[SC03OTT]

I realise the error of my ways now. I really should find out how to use all the features fully.

 

[Munson]

LOL been using mine all evening on battery, with iTunes constantly playing, and the battery has 5 hours left. Stupid machines :approve:

I need to buy one, my mighty mouse just doesn't cut it anymore... plus it has 3 years of 'finger' in the scroll wheel lol

 

[Munson]

My MBP pad looks brand new and still feels like a virgins arse after more than a year. All my other laptops over the years have gone all glossy within months. PMSL at scroll wheels. Just why?

 

[jenic]

Didnt this happen quite a while ago?

 

[Dansta]

Has something new happened? Or are we generally talking about how good the trackpad is?

 

[Munson]

I'm not sure. I did wonder. I have just updated this evening, and one of the updates was inertial scrolling. It's now different to how it was, so thought I would post. The scrolling is different after my update.

EDIT: BTW I've been out of the country for months, without my MBP, so yes it could be older than Jesus

Pretty sure my MacBook pro has had this since day 1...

 

[Bloooor]

Why? I have an iMac so mouse is needed

 

[Munson]

Really? Genuine question. Mine always stopped scrolling when you removed your fingers. Now it continues to move when you let go. Much like the iPhone. I'm sure this is new to my machine, and I've had it over a year. I'm happy to be wrong.

 

[Munson]

A bit of digging suggests that this update was released around July 2010, which makes it perfectly reasonable that everyone else has had it for ages.

 

[Moz168]

Mines done it since new too, few months old.

Put 4 fingers on and pull down Roy.

 

[Munson]

^^None of that has changed. Only the inertial scrolling is new for me, and it started happening after an update this evening

 

[seb]

yeah the scrolling changed for me only a few weeks ago.

thought i was going a wee bit mad as it just felt different my thought was the same, ie: like the iphone...

 

[Munson]

Ah cool. So I'm not losing it

EDIT: Again, it's so much better!

 

[Mot!]

Came on the 2010 MBPs at release and then was released for anything >2007 AFAIK

 

[spirez]

Track pad is epic. I'm never gonna buy a mouse for mine. If i get anything it'll be the standalone track pad.

I also love the hot corners feature and the four finger swipes for desktop and expose.

 

[Revels]

Mighty Mouse is awful. Magic Mouse is awesome.

MBP - Trackpad
iMac - Magic Mouse

Simple.

yeah. mine is a 2010 model though. had it since April and came as standard. Still awesome none the less

 

[Christopher]

How's you MBP ageing, Roy?

Any war wounds?

 

[El Marko]

Pretty sure my MacBook pro has had this since day 1...

nah. it was updated about a month ago or so. Pretty sure it came with the new external trackpad update. Either that or when i downloaded magicpad update it turned it on?

much prefer the old way. But can see how it appeals to others. Very similar to scrolling on iphone. One drag and it flows to bottom.

This guy is right. I got my 2010 MBP brand new shortly after release and it's always done it.

I love my magic mouse. Not so great for design work, but for browsing the net its awesome!
